Womens' team debut

Our ladies team played their first match against Harpenden at home last weekend in a 20 over match. 

The team had trained regularly for a few weeks prior to the match with many having never touched a bat or ball before and did remarkably well against a team of junior girls who had much more experience.

Harpenden batted first and scored 315 with all the bowlers doing a good job, the standout being Heidi Bjornsgaard with the excellent figures of 3-1-8-1. In reply, we managed 262 and pleasingly everyone managed to get off the mark. Kristina Smith top scored with 21 including four 4's.

A very good effort for the first match and we look forward to the return match against Harpenden and hopefully a few more friendlies this season. Huge thanks to Mark Lewarne and Dave Chrispin for umpiring.
